While there are many forms and lineages of Tantra, Authentic Tantra® taught by the Institute of Authentic Tantra® , is a trauma-informed holistic healing approach that is rooted in the Tibetan 5 Element Healing practices from the Shangpa Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism.
What is Authentic Tantra® ?
Description
Based on the Tibetan wisdom of ‘inside, outside same’, Authentic Tantra® is designed to balance, enrich, integrate, and heal the body physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually from the inside out.
Authentic Tantra® works with 4 Pillars of Healing; Meditation, Movement, Connection, and Pleasure to heal trauma and integrate our mind, body, spirit and sex so that we can awaken and access more pleasure and bliss in our lives. Sexuality is a fundamental part of how we are and because of this, Authentic Tantra® believes that the path to spiritual enlightenment includes all aspects of our human experience including and most importantly our sexuality.
Authentic Tantra® uses a wide range of resources including Taoist healing practices, modern sexology and sexual teachings, somatic (body-based) practices, non-violent communication, movement, and many others to provide a comprehensive approach to healing for the benefit of the individual and all of humanity.
The Institute of Authentic Tantra® is the only Canadian accredited school for Tantric sexual healing in the world and offers the most comprehensive tantra training program available today. It is the ONLY lineage-based school offering sexual teachings that has been sanctioned and approved by the lineage and its Lama, Lama Tashi Dundrup.
Chris Ericson, Ph.D., ABS, is the Senior Educational Administrator for the Institute of Authentic Tantra Education (IATE). The IATE is the first and only school for tantra as a holistic healing modality in the western world that is both lineage approved and government certified. Our work is based in teachings from the Shangpa Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhism, blended with contemporary western somatic science.
